Will, good stuff! i always like to see someone going out and trying and being inventive. these look like they will work, hopefully you will keep us posted on the sucess of these patterns when the time comes. great work on the photos as well it makes all the difference to take the time to shoot them right and i must say you exposures are spot on with no loss of detail in the highlight areas, not too easy to do especialy with a black background. the reflection adds something to it too, and you managed to eliminate any glare. two thumbs up!

Great work, when people (co-workers, relatives) ask me about fly-tying I would definitely point them to look at these pics as an example of exceptional creativity and like Nick says great job on the photography.

Charlie- the wings are organza tape( craft store) , folded in half then cut- lightly dress the cut edge with Fishing Glue ( a dilute CA in a bottle with a brush applicator). Turn out to be very strong wing !

DbleH- the Ephorons are aimed at Goldeye, the Hex for Whitefish/Carp/Bigmouth Buffalo.

Beauties for sure, Will! VERY buggy! On the Hex and the targeted Carp.....is this sight fishing or blind casting during a hatch? I'm going to assume you flick them out in front of the Carp on the feed and strip when you think the timing is correct........?

Better sign off or you'll be getting lots of orders for DOZENS and dozens of those flies. I wish my flies were as deadly looking as yours.......mine are mostly just DEAD looking.....as in on your windshield or in your vehicle radiator.......sigh...
